Your Voice: What do you think of the multi-million dollar effort by the Atlanta City Council to hold on to the Atlanta Braves?

Sheila Mants, Fairburn: “I do think that we should try to keep the Braves… But, hey, if they want to leave, we can’t do nothing about that either. I think it’s unfair for them to want to leave.” Compiled by Vincent Christie at the Atlanta Business League’s 80th Anniversary Dinner.

Sylvester Johnson, Douglas: “I think it’s all about money and if it is important to the city I think they will keep them and if it’s not then I think they will let them go. I think its a good idea, I mean, what is Atlanta without the Braves.” Compiled by Vincent Christie at the Atlanta Business League’s 80th Anniversary Dinner.

Jermaine Reece, Acworth: “It’s a mixed response for me because I am in Acworth so if they move it’ll be a little bit closer to me so from a personal standpoint I am actually okay with the move. But for the city of Atlanta I can see them wanting to hold onto the Braves and for them that’s a good move. But I have to be honest, if the move does occur, for me, it’s a little bit closer than going down to Atlanta.” Compiled by Vincent Christie at the Atlanta Business League’s 80th Anniversary Dinner.

Sharon Tomlinson, Atlanta: “I think in terms of the amount money and what the city can do with it…I think it’s something to be looked at, it’s something to be considered in terms of how the government is run and how the city is operating and what’s important and what’s not important…” Compiled by Vincent Christie at the Atlanta Business League’s 80th Anniversary Dinner.

Jarrod Jordan, Atlanta: “I think it’s a good move. I think the Atlanta Braves are an institution in downtown Atlanta. I think the city council and the mayor should, within reason, exhaust and use every measure they have to keep them downtown… Without putting the city in any financial danger, they should definitely exhaust all options to keep them here.” Compiled by Vincent Christie at the Atlanta Business League’s 80th Anniversary Dinner.
